Please sort Friends Online alphabetically

The Friends Online list seems to be ordered randomly, which is rather annoying. Could you please add an "ORDER BY firstname" clause to the SQL query that generates the Friends Online list on the Web site, so it matches up with the list one sees in world in the IM dialog? It's a small issue but would make the list a lot more user-friendly. Maybe I'm misssing something, but I see no rhyme or reason to the current sorting.

Could there be a correlation wit' the order in which they came online?

Could be, but that's not useful information. I'd much rather be able to see if friend X is online without having to read every line in the list. I'm not concerned with when they signed on.

I agree... it'd be nice to have it consistent with inworld. :)

Mine isn't correlated that way or any other that I can discern fyi.
